Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 2 Warm Dinner

The village where the original owner lived was called Linjia Village, and it was the poorest village among the eighteen villages in Jiuzhou Town, not one of them.

Although there are mountains and water, except for some bamboo shoots and wild vegetables, not even a small animal is common on the mountain, let alone a small stream where fish and shrimp rarely appear.

Lin Xiao walked around the village with the only five copper coins left at home, and exchanged them for half a bag of brown rice and a small piece of wild boar.

These are enough for two people to eat.

It's time to find a way to make money.

According to the memory of the original owner, Lin Xiao had a general understanding of the Great Xia Dynasty she lived in.

The culture, customs and so on are not different from Lin Xiao's previous life.

Just this history, the difference is really not that big.

There is no Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, no Wu Huan Hua, no Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, only a Great Xia Dynasty that has been passed down for thousands of years.

As for what dynasty was before the Great Xia Dynasty, the original owner had no memory of it at all.

Lin Xiao sighed, what kind of miracle is a dynasty that can last for thousands of years?
Closer to home, no matter which dynasty you are in, people's livelihood is the most important thing.

Lin Xiao is not worried about how to make a living in ancient times. Knowledge is power. She believes that with what she has learned, she will be able to create a world in the Great Xia Dynasty!

The original owner has been able to read and write since she was a child, and her body is extremely weak with her ten fingers not touching the spring water.

By the time Lin Xiao used this body to carry half a bag of brown rice and a small piece of meat home, more than half an hour had passed, that is, more than an hour in modern times.

Li Yuyan had already changed out of the wedding clothes given by the government, and he was dressed neatly in peasant attire.

At the moment, he is diligently cleaning the yard.

It can be seen that Li Yuyan, who is in exile, has suffered a lot these years!

Seeing Lin Xiao coming back, he trotted up to meet him and took the rice bag.

"Why is there still meat?"

It was only then that Lin Xiao discovered that the bride she "married" not only looked like a man, but also had a similar body shape!
It is estimated that the height is about 1.9 meters, coupled with a strong figure, if someone who doesn't know sees it, they will think that the bride is a man!
"If you don't eat meat, the taste will be reduced by half. Besides, today is your first day at my house. You can't even have no meat, can you?"

Hearing this, Li Yuyan was stunned.

A faint warm current emerged from the deepest part of his heart, his eyes were sore and astringent.

"Uh...you know how to cook, right? I'm really a little hungry."

The only thing Lin Xiao in the 21st century knows is instant noodles. After traveling to ancient times, she really doesn't know how to use the earthen stove correctly.

"Well, I'll cook and it will be ready soon."

Li Yuyan quickly took the bag of rice and the meat to the kitchen and started making dinner.

Taking advantage of Li Yuyan's cooking, Lin Xiao got into the original owner's study.

The study room is furnished simply but without losing the fragrance of ink.

There are some unknown landscape paintings hanging on the clean walls.

Below the painting is a neat single bed.

On the rectangular desk are pens, inks, papers and inkstones as well as several old textbooks.

On both sides of the desk are bookcases, which are also filled with various books.

He took out a copy at random, opened it, and found that the poems and songs in it had no charm at all, and they were not even as good as the popular limericks in later generations.

"Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, aren't their poems here?"

Lin Xiao, who didn't believe in evil, looked through a few more books, but there were no poems by those masters.

Is it because people in the Great Xia Dynasty don't like their poems or is it because of other reasons?
Just when Lin Xiao was in a trance, Li Yuyan knocked on the door of the study:

"Master, the meal is ready."

The head of the family is the respectful title given by married women of the Great Xia Dynasty to their men.

Since they don't want to expose their identities, even if the two of them are not used to it, they can only accept it!

Lin Xiao responded awkwardly, and walked out of the study.

On the dining table, there was a clay pot that looked like boiling medicine, and it was filled with gray-black sticky objects.

"This is……"

"Brown rice and meat porridge."

"That's what I made with the brown rice and boar meat I gave you?"

Lin Xiao suddenly lost his appetite.

"If we make brown rice and fried pork slices, these foods are only enough for us to eat for one meal, and if we make brown rice porridge, we can eat at least three meals."

Li Yuyan's tone was indifferent, without any emotion.

But in Lin Xiao's view, her "bride" is expressing her dissatisfaction with practical actions.

"Oh! Marrying me, it's hard for you!"

Lin Xiao sighed, no matter what he said, he was the one who was sorry for Li Yuyan (Li Yuyan).

Not to mention the jingle of being poor, just talking about her identity as a woman disguised as a man is a fatal truth for a newlywed!
If he can't think about it, Lin Xiaoke will really be a sinner!

She put the shredded pork in her bowl into Li Yuyan's bowl with guilt:

"Eat more meat and nourish your body."

Li Yuyan watched Lin Xiao keep putting shredded pork into his bowl, and was stunned.

Originally, when his "natal family" was relatively wealthy, he could eat a bite or two of this meat during festivals.

But since he didn't marry because of the title of "Black Widow" in the past few years, in order to pay more taxes, his "natal family" has long been hollowed out, not to mention meat, not even oily flowers!

Even if there was, his good "sister-in-law" would never let him see half of it.

But now, seeing that Lin Xiao will give him all the little meat, he couldn't help but soften a little.

Lin Xiao may be the first outsider in this world who treats him sincerely except for his father and mother.

"You eat too, don't give it all to me, you see that you are so thin that you are out of shape."

Li Yuyan pinched the shredded meat back.

The two had a rather warm dinner with flickering candles.

After dinner, Li Yuyan looked at Lin Xiao who was washing dishes in the kitchen, wondering whether to tell the truth.

If Lin Xiao is willing to help conceal it, that's okay, if not, then he can only confirm his reputation as a black widow again.

Thinking of this, a piercing chill burst out in Li Yuyan's eyes.

After washing the dishes, just as Li Yuyan was about to speak, Lin Xiao took the first step and said:

"There are two rooms in the house, you sleep in one and I sleep in the other."

Li Yuyan raised his head suddenly when he heard this, his beautiful phoenix eyes were full of doubt and disbelief.

Why did Lin Xiao do this?
Did he see through his identity?
At this moment, Li Yuyan's mind was already thinking about what to do next.

His hand has even touched the dagger pinned to his waist.

"There is a cloud in the book, full of warmth and thought of sex, we have not even solved the problem of food and clothing, how can we think about those messy things?"

Lin Xiao paused, then continued:

"We have to find a way to make money first!"

As long as there is no bridal chamber, no matter what reason Lin Xiao says, Li Yuyan can accept it.

At least his hands don't need to add unnecessary blood.

If he were to kill Lin Xiao right now, he would really be so reluctant.

"Okay, I've been tired all day, let's go to bed earlier!"

　Recently, I feel inexplicably irritable. Some people say that this is because the Ghost Festival is approaching, so dear babies, try not to go out at night if you can!
